Comparision of Marine vs Navy Engagement Rules:

USMC Rules For Gunfighting During War
1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns.

2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.

3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.

4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough nor using cover correctly.

5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)

6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun.

7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.

8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.

9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun.

9.5. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. "All skill is in vain when an Angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket."

10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

11. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

12. Have a plan.

13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.

14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible. The visible target should be in FRONT of your gun.

15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.

16. Don't drop your guard.
17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.

18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them).

19. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.

20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

21. Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

22. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.

23. Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

24. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a "4."

25. Be sure to take credit for things the Army does, as most people don't know the difference between the Army and the Marines.

A Marine Recon platoon was on patrol when the Lt. noticed a lone Army Special Forces Soldier standing on a hill top in their area. The Lt. told two of his men to go take out that Army Ranger.

They promptly ran as fast as they could toward the SF soldier. Just before they got to the top, the SF soldier ran over the other side of the hill. The two marines followed. For the next few miniutes there were bloody screams and dust flying in the air. Then as quick as it had started, it stopped and the SF soldier came up on the hill top. He brushed off his bdu's, straightened his beret, crossed his arms and stood there looking at the marines.

The Lt., now pissed, called for a squad to go get that SF soldier. They promptly ran as fast as they could toward the SF soldier. Just before they got to the top, the SF soldier ran over the other side of the hill. The marine squad followed. For the next few miniutes there were bloody screams and dust flying in the air. Then as quick as it had started, it stopped and the SF soldier came up on the hill top. He brushed off his bdu's, straightened his beret, crossed his arms and stood there looking at the marines.

The Lt. was really super hot now. He ordered the rest of his platoon to attack the SF soldier. Determined that the "Recon" was far superior to just One Army Ranger, they had blood in their eyes as they ran up the hill. Just before they got to the top, the SF soldier ran over the other side of the hill. The marine's predictably followed.

For many miniutes there were bloody screams and dust flying in the air. It continued and continued sounding like Claps of Thunder in the Mountains. Finally, the Lt. saw one lone marine crawling back to the Lt., resembling the site of a wet homeless mutt with its tail between its legs, but all bloody and beat about the head and shoulders. His BDU's were torn, cuts were all over his body. The Lt. quickly barked for a site report.

The lone marine, bloody and beaten, replied in a forceful and fearful voice...

"Sir, R U N !!, It's a trick!! There are TWO of them!!"
